Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

Microsoft is desupporting alot of versions of Internet Explorer by January 2016. Hopefully this will help on moving people to newer versions. But if you support IE 8, your customers already don't want to upgrade unfortunately..

We don't normally support IE8, this is a one-time deal. Thank the gods for that.

IE11 is actually decent. IE12 team from their AMA looks to really want to do well, they're just fighting against negative perception by now. MS really screwed it up big time, but Apple/Google/Firefox never have had to deal with anywhere near level of fragmentation that Microsoft does, and the broken IE6/7/8 complaints only gets perpetuated because of the fragmentation, which stems IE11 efforts to get back on track. Forced browser updates is what I think I read IE is going to do in the near future once everyone below IE11 runs IE6/7/8 in IE11 compat. mode. I'm still loyal to Chrome, but I'm being more open to FF and IE now.
My co-worker and I have to support IE8 on a drupal site we are about to create/re-create It's a news site, and most of the viewers are older people so the IE8 percentage is pretty high -_-
So Manit0u, please keep posting all the problems you run into!

Note: make sure you're using jQuery v1.x (2.x isn't compatible with IE8) and remember to put your scripts into the <head> section or you can forget about background images...
Best thing would be to do the entire thing in html4 and css2, but that's ugly
I'll post additional info if I run into any more problems.
Edit:
Never EVER use <type="application/javascript"> in IE8. What it will do is: 1. take the first hundred or so lines of the file 2. prepend them to another JS file that comes before it in the HTML 3. give you all sorts of errors
Programming related, but not specific. In a week I will start a month-long test to know if I'm admited into a new french programming school, called 42 !
No teacher, no lesson, no schedule. "Peer-to-peer", project driven learning. Never really went deep into programming yet, but I'm pumped !

The problem with MS is that they choose to limit IE versions together with OS versions. Until Windows Vista is desupported MS must support IE9 because that is the latest version of IE on the platform. That is why they get the fragmentation together with the non-forced updates.
My company is a bit weary with the forced updates, because we use IE and Safari as components in GUI applications on their platforms. So when IE updates instantly, we need to test our application so our components will work in the new IE version when it comes out, and we need that fix to be backported to potentially 3+ year old software which could be substantiel different. But atleast we only need to test our application against 1 IE version. So i guess somewhere people will say its a win situation
Apple with Safari has another strategy, where the Safari version you use for web components are actually fixed with the Mac OSX version. This means the beheaviour of the browser will not change with updates. But this also means Apple doesnt really fix when bugs appear with the browser. So not a perfect solution either.
complete 100% noob here [*nix compiler issues], and I appreciate anyone who has the patience to even read this. My google fu ran out of getting answers that helped:
I am doing very simple out of the box building from open source material [specifically, just gnuchess from gnu project]. I'm working with cygwin to use x11/xwindows (with xming), and I use xwindows and cygwin for work related activities; this is just personal and it's not in any way important or necessary.
It's more that I am just ticked off that it doesn't seem to work, as well as trying to learn a little bit about *nix and compiling.
I've successfully done/built a handful of things through pretty simple:
tar xzf filename.tar.gz [or just extract with 7zip] ./configure make make install
and just copying generated .exe over to /usr/bin (I believe --prefix can put in there but just doing bare bones following "read me" file). Since this is all chess related, it was just xboard (the chess GUI for xwindows that can load chess engines into) and polyglot (lets more engines be compatable with xboard), and some chess engines.
so I do not need this at all and am just curious, for my own benefit, why the compiler fails.
1) main question:
I am getting error in makefile after make -q, after successful ./configure Makingfile:452: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed *** [all-recursive] Error 1
the make file calls g++ compiler if that is relevant
2) secondary question or helpful related error messages:
after just $ make or make check, I get error(s) at the end that display:
I get a whole bunch of junky text dispalyed after $ make about undefined reference to 'libintl_gettext' , and in ./configure it has a line of
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... yes checking whether to use NLS... yes checking where the gettext function comes from... external libintl checking how to link with libintl... /usr/local/lib/libintl.dll.a -liconv -L/usr/local/lib checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
it may have actually said "checking for GNU gettext in libintl...no" previous but then I just built gettext from gnu and copy pasted the libintl.dll.a or whatever that was newer and the gettext function. This shouldn't have any relevance to the problem I think...
can anyone explain to like what is causing this in easy to understand terms (don't bother if you know the answer but can't explain to a scrub like me)? is the file actual missing or is it some path issue (says GNU gettext and same directory as every other library/whatever that may be called, but it talks about "external libintl")
ld is the linker, and exit non-zero means failure. From what I can find there's unresolved symbols, which might be related to your gettext problems, which are related to Cygwin being not actually POSIX (you'll run into these issues often enough).
Probably a dumb question, but are audio samples on uncompressed WAV files stored raw? Could I just tack on any series of short ints onto the end of a 16-bit WAV file and expect it to play as music, or do I have to follow some kind of special convention?

Nope. That's not what uncompressed means :p There's a (complicated) format.
In R or Python, is it possible to dynamically assign names to a list? Say you have a bunch of files in many different directories and you can't change the directory structure. You want to read in all the files and process the data in them one by one.
What I did in the past was I made a list (because lists are easy to dynamically size) of dataframes (each file is a dataframe). List[[1]] would be the first dataframe.
But now I'm watching some videos and I'm learning about list subsetting and I don't know if it's possible to dynamically assign variables names like "date_csv1.csv" "date_csv2.csv".
In retrospect I should be assigning each file to the same temporary data structure in a loop, aggregating the data in it, and concatenating it to the end of another aggregation dataframe.
Nvm, I should just use assign. Maybe I don't remember my original problem correctly.

I believe that the reasonable way to do it would be this:
int n = 5; // number of unique variables you need to assign. string[] arr; // where we will store the variable strings
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { arr[i] = 'date_csv' + intToString(i + 1) + '.csv'; }
I went to university and got a diploma in network & telecommunications engineering technology which I finished a couple years ago. I am now looking at studying a programming language on my own (free online/home studies), and I'm trying to figure out what programming language would best assist my current education with a heavy emphasis on networking.
My current programming experience: In high school I took a course on C++ as well as in first year of my program I took a course in Java and Unix shell scripting. I didn't really like Java, C++ was more interesting, and I think Unix shell scripting was probably the most useful so far.
I'm also looking at getting a Raspberry Pi to mess around with and test stuff in the next couple weeks once I find a job again. I've also got a relatively powerful computer and have no problem with making and using Linux/Windows VMs in addition here.
Would HTML, PHP, or Unix shell scripting be best? Any other suggestions? I'm kind of interested in pursuing something as I haven't been in school for a couple years now and preferably I'd like to pick something that best goes with my networking and data center experience.
Ahh cool, thanks Nesserev. I had someone also recommend me Python recently but don't know much about it nor have any experience with it so I didn't bother mentioning it initially. I think I'll probably end up looking into Python and Bash to begin with.
